  • why does a green video frame pop up in my project?

    Hi Cow,

    while simply clicking around to play starting at various parts of my project…sometimes a green video frame appears.

    I go crazy trying to figure out what I did and how to remove it….the green video “frame” seems to disappear on its own!!!

    please help me understand this

    thank you!

    From past experience i seem to see that happening with
    corrupted mpeg2 video files (mpeg2 Codecs).
    Whats the video format of the project you have on
    the timeline.

    HI Steve,

    The file I am working with/imported into Vegas is:

    :60 sec
    Mpeg2
    15mbps
    720 x 480
    4:2:0
    Telestream flip-factory trans-coded file

    All of our masters sent to TV stations are of this format (currently)

    I wouldn’t say the file is corrupt as we have been working in this work flow for several years and do various broadcast production work such as EV encoding, Tagging, delivery, etc. ….but with that being said…maybe have other insights or you can shed some light on something I am missing.

    I import the mpeg video file and match the project properties to the video file.

    I hope this information helps and please respond with your thoughts and suggestions. While I would rather not loose multiple generations Should I flip or encode as a 720 x 512 4:2:2 file and work with this file in Vega..then flip back to our “Master format”

    please advise and thank you!!

    Update:

    green frame issue fixed.

    after going back and forth with Sony creative software technical team, we upgraded to build 701 and the issue went away.

    thank you
